SPIRIT OF THE MAIM JOUR N A LS. Again, as we are told by the French Papers, Russia and Turkey miSunderstand each other upon those points which had for so many years formed, the sub- Jeet of active megociatioriat Constantinople. What the . consequence of this renewed misunderstanding may he, is pointed out in the , paper:; to which we have al luded ; or it is rather, indeed, ostentatiously detailed and dwelt upon, for the benefit, we suppose, of the refractory portion of the Divan. Cetteras paribus, it is in most cases probable that where two. Governments are . engaged in a rong diplomatic dispute, the ,more: powerful party will have the worst of the argument; SO far as it remains a mere question of reasoning ; be ' cause there can exist no motive under heaven for a weak man to provoke the hostility of a strong one, to raise questions : with him which may eventually' lead 'to trials of pure force, or by setting up unfounded claims, to disturb in any manner that tranquillity on which depends the existence of the feeble. It seems, on the other: hand, as much the' policy of. a strong man, confident in his strength, anti forgettbl of his moral:, to make encroachments on a less powerful neighbour, and to stir provoking con troversies on the subject of such encroachments, as it : would be of the latter to enjoy a tolerated obscurity, and by a scrupulous observance of the strong man s' rights, and a cautious adherence to all his own engage ments, to disarm, if ppossible., the spirit of the oppres sor, and to escape the visitations of his vengeance.— We have generally had a strange suspicion, that the Turks, who are famed for a conscientious regard to treaties, were more sinned against than sinning, on a balance of accounts with the Empire of All the Rustles. It was : the interest of the Ottomans to remain at peace ; because from war they could have nothing to look for hut disaster. Apart, therefore, from any knowledge 0 , tl . l!`. laCtS of the case, it was presumable: that Tnrikey Would not volunteer a cause of dissension With his Imperial Mti*e 't Of •rea sonable person ). Louise no person can deny that extreme pride and folly may usurp ,the One of superior, power with a barbarous Govern ment, and lead to a. sort of change of characters be— tween the rival Courts; the weaker exhibiting all that' was wild. ,and Yeekless ambitious pretension ; the other watchful of every opportunity, putting on the appearance of temper, sobriety, 'and moderation. The tendency of extreme ignOrance, and tonsequent blind ness, to plunge a people into'hopeless war, is exem .plified in the present state of time Persian frontier. .there is no' denying that a similar infatuation preside over. the councils of the Sultan of Constantino pie a over those' of AbbasNirzas ; and we feel con strained to acknowledge that the general semblance of justice, together with the fruit's of aggression, may tie yielded to Russia in' the present instance, through the 'obstinate prejudices and errors of a Cabinet which "did 'not know . when it was well." At the same time the 'Ways of diplomacy must, by straightforward minds, be Sleernsd in no small degree inscrutable. According to the last Ultimatum transmitted several months ago by the Court of St. 'Petershurgh to the Turkish capital, it was required that certain Commissioners should be named by the Porte to repair to Ackerman, and settle the points at issue. Why the " settlement" could not as well be provided for through negotiations at Con stantinople, where stood the fountaiti-head" of Turkish as at an obscnre and remote village, whence re course must be had to the Sultan iknd his Ministeri, whatsoever difficulty should arise,' we are not expe rieiteed enough in such matters to be thoronghly capable of vomprehending. Be that as it may, the quarrel is reported in the French Papers to be " a mighty, pretty quarrel ;" and the result anticipated is a free and easy occupation of Moldavia and Walachia by 46,000 Russians—while 100,000 more are in the neighhOnrhood, ready to back the oecupiera if it be needful. I,t is said that the Ith Oct. has been named by the:Rubsiese.Commissioners as the last day, on which theyshall:feekhemeelves at liberty to receive an answer front the Turks to a state paper,, in which they have embodied all the grievances and dementia of Russia for wseries of years, and that, failing such reply, the Russian armies will pass the Pruth instanter. The oppressions:: pradtised' by Turkey on Wallachia and Moldavia, and on Servian and Greek Christians bear letters of safety from Russia, arc alleged among the foreMoit of Russian complaints; and thus all the discontented subjects of. the Sultan are taught to look up to his enemy or rival for protection. If Russia occupies the provinces on the Danube, gibei s prepared, they say, and we 'nothing doubt it, to issue to all t h e world aSSUralleehe of . her extreme Moderation , of he r anxiety for peace, and her readiness to renew the nego amigos, all of which will be the natural preliminaries to her indemnifying herself for the past, and shielding : herself for the future, in a way which shall save her the tiresome trouble of henceforth negotiating, When she may think proper to command. A nominal nide penance for Moldavia and Walachia issnentioned as. among the probable terms about to be dictated by the Cabinet of' St. Pitersburgh, upon occupying or seizing indefinitely those much-desired We are much mistaken if the project for reducing the interest of the National Debt, which hasi found such favour in the eyes of the higher ranks of this country, be not openly advocated by several men of mark in time course of the approaching Session. It has, always, indeed,, ever since the peace, been a fa vourite,with many, though policy required caution with respect to its avowal. We have been assured by a frtend of the late Mr: Timer, than whom a more honourable sod upright man never entered the House of Commons,4l.tat when be left thiiscountrv, labouring under the ,disesse to which he fell a victim, he cxs pressed himself disgusted in the extrema with the want of principle he had discovered on she subject of the D e bt, amours men of all parties in Parliament. But it seems to be thought 110 W, that the time for reserve is past , . A party of. Contary Gentlemen now seldom sit , down to timer, without having a touch at the Fund. holders. Wiwi' a diminution of expeoditure is talked of, the re d uc tion of the National, Debt is what is really meant. Mr. Hume and 4 few other disinterested. men, .really are of opinion that our expenditure may be greatly diminished by, retrenchment. But t h e Country: Gentlemen have no re.trenc.hment yiew, only look tit ' which does not - begin and end with . the Confiscation o f the property of the Thindholders. the thing a little. closely. For whom Is the Lxpendi ture of this country ? private eXpenoeS are, IS it not I.(n' the Aristocracy ? We have, indeed, a King, whose we suppose, about equal to the expences of any one of.twenty of our Nobility, or and for whose sak e a p alace and a cottage are occasionally built, pulled down , rebuilt ; and we have several Princes of the blood, whose perWeat tPtystiees are a charge to the country. Bo! all this formsbu(a very small part of the_ expenditure of the country. Plageshave been multiplied at home and abroad forthe younger sons dour nobility and gentry. If the Lord. Charles's and the rest of the regiment do not obtain proconsuiships , regiments, shipa, &c. &c., a larger protisiomMu4 be made from the poems' estates, so that the relief from a diminished expenditure must be like taking from one pocket to put into another. Reduction has already been carried as far as it can go with the working part of the servants of Government. Clerks innumerable have been dismissed. The only reduction, therefore, that is now practicable, is in the higher departments. It seems to us that the Law of Primogeniture necessarily entails on the nation a heavy public expenditure for the younger branches. There is no alternative ;—the younger sons must either receive a portion of the paternal estates (for Landholders never save money), or they must be quartered on the public.. I.t would be considered derogatory from the dignity of a great family, were a Lord. John or Thomas to be come manufacturer or shopkeeper ; and to succeed at the Bar is given but to few. We cannot have at the same time the advantage of the most splendid. aristocracy in the world, and a low expenditure. Indeed, so well is the matter understood by the Nobility and higher gentry, that wills have been made assigning to younger sons annuities of a certain amount, payable only till they received places under Government of a higher yearly value. We can state of our own personal knowledge, that, a Nobleman who died some year:, ago left 590/. a year to his younger sons in that way. For the country it would, we have no doubt, be much better if property were to descend equally to children, for then, a number of individuals, who now prey on the industry of the nation, would employ their stocks in the various pursuits of commerce and agriculture. Almost all the agricultural improvements in the country, for instance, have taken place in counties in which properties were much divided. In England, it was on the small estates in East Norfolk, Stifiblk, Essex, and Kent, that improvements began ; and it was in like manner the small landowners in Scotland, who first vet the example of amelioration. The great estates have always been the last to exhibit marks of improvement. The owners are generally ridden by stewards, and averse to look into the details of ma nagement. However, it is idle to speculate on the advantages of another system of inheritance, for so long as we possess extensive Colonies and rich Church Revenues, and have numberless places in every de partment of Government, on which the junior branches can be quartered, the present system will he retained. But let the landowners beware of touching the inte rest of the National Debt. So revolting a piece of injustice might lead to more serious consequences than they possibly anticipate. It never can be necessary to touch the Debt so long as it is covered by the pro- perty of the countyy 4 lf we. must come to a stand, the only fair principle is that recommended by the late Mr. 'Ricardo, of throwing together all the property of the country, the National 'Debt - among the rest, - and then, deducting from each individual the share of debt corresponding to his amount of property. On any other principle the touching the national creditor would be, a scandalous robbery. , That ,a high public expenditure is a great evil, is a position which few will contest. But upon what principle the landowner can make the high taxation consequent on that expen diture a ground for imposing restraints in the trade in corn, we are at a loss to see. The manufacturer; who sends , his goods to the markets of the Old and New World, cannot, en account of the taxation at home, raise his prices to his cUstoiners. The wo&natt, therefore, can only receive from him such wages as the competition.with foreigners will allow linn to pay. The industrious classes, thereibre, find their comforts abridged by the taxation. Why, then, should the landholders, in addition to the burdens they are bound to pay as their fair share of taxation, be allowed to tax them still further in the, article of their food, under an unnatural monopoly ? The plea of the landholders is the heavy taxes ; but they have no right to indemnify themselves for these heavy taxes by charging them to the account of the other classes who already pay their share. We must all act fairly by one another, and not endeavour to shift the burden from our own shoulders to those: of our neighbours.---Monting Chronicle. Sir John Sinclair, the well-known agricultural Ba ronet; lately furnished us with a strong argument in favour., of 'a free trade in corn, by pointing out the extensive methods of improvement which remained still untried by triculturists. We were then well aware of the 'Baronet a leanings ; but his argument was good on our side, and we used it accordingly. He has since grappled with the' Corn Question, and We cannot with hold from him that attention to which his patriotic spirit and practical knowledge of agriculture most justly entitle him. The' Hon. Baronet very well re marks that a few figures and undeniable facts are Worth volumes of theory and fine-spun declamation ; and, in conformity with this principle, he gives us the schedules of the Income Tax for 1814. The incomes liable to pay under this tax amounted, in all, to 176,734,3111.; of which 25;000,000/. arose from trade ; and the whole of the' remainder, including income from the Funds, income from taxation, &c., lie rather oddly assigns to the land alone---a singular assertion, on which we shall not stop to _comment. He winds .4p these calculations by stating the yroduee of the odd and agriculture of Great .Britain at 215,000,0001., and, including Ireland and the Colonies, at 317,000,0001. We make no remark on the extra ordinary arrangement by which colonial and agricul tural produce are confounded ; and the still more ob vious incorrectness of his facts, in giving the whole agricultural produce of our Colonies, including India, at only 30 millions. The final and the grand mistake of Sir John ,Sinclair is, that he estimates the present qusntity of our exports to 'Prussia, Russia, Sweden, Denmark, and Norway,:as to continue ,the same after the late system of restrictions as before. He takes the value of our annual exports at 42,000,0001., of which 16,000,000/., - he says, are such as cannot be taken from us, and three-fourths of the remainder are exported to countries which have no g rain to g ive,-7 The remainder, which is exported to the corn coun tries, izs too trifling to be taken into the account, Now to us it really does seem, that this trifling amount of our present exports to these countries should be the greatest inducement for us to increase our transactions with them, by taking their grain in exchange. It does not' seem very difficult to comprehend that a nation cannot buy without something to give in exchange, either to us or to sonic other nation which may furnish it with gold for its dealings with us. In either case , wheth er we are ourse l ves th e exchanging nation, or if we onl y,F 9 Fe i ve gold which has been , b rou g ht from otner ;Latina, the result is precisely the same. nnerthe corn .countries must procure substitutes for n i .antifattur our commodities which they would i consume, or they are olili iicl' to " 'flaufinbi and thus supersede us in foreign to markets,. in brder other commodities to sell unfair to' able themselves' tourefinse of L Ver? , deductions are from the rte. ! counts o recent arrivals .from foreign . nerts.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSB..---Yesterday Mr. Currie, the gentleman *barged with the assault upon the servant girl in entering the premises claimed by Mr. Verbeke, in New Broad-street, came before the Lord Mayor, to answer the charge. He was attended by Mr. W. Clark, Dr. J. Mitchell, Mr. Verbeke, and a number of other gentlemen. A Solicitor, whose name we could not learn, attended for Mr. Wilke, to conduct the prosecution. The case proved by the servant girl was in substance the same as that stated yesterday, when she made application for a sum mons. He had, after she admitted him at the door, held her for cibly by the wrists, and one of them was slightly scratched. Mr. Currie said, the witness was much agitated when she saw the two persons enter; she screamed out, and seemed likely to faint. He held her, but not in the hostile manner stated. The Lord MA•ron said, the assault had been proved, and he ordered the defendant to find two sureties of 1001. each to answer the charge at the Sessions. BOW-STREET...---John Wilson , a poor-looking man, having his coat tern, and bearing other proofs of rough usage, was' charged with abusing and a ss aulting William Davison , a pr ivate in the 4 2d battalion of the 3d Regiment of Yoot Guards. A ser geant who accompanied the complainant, stated, that the charge was preferred at the instance of the Colonel of the regiment. It appeared that the dispute arose out of a custom resorted to by the military, of preventing persons carrying parcels or bundles from passing through St. James's Park. The eentinels who re ceive orders to that effect, have, in numerous instances, acted according to the letter, rather than the spirit, of their instruc tions, and respectable persons are constantly prevented from en tering the gates, merely because they may happen to carry a parcel or bundle of inconsiderable size. The defendant in the present case, it appeared, was carrying a small basket of linen for his wife, when he was pushed rudely back by*the complainant, who stood on duty at the Spring-gardens' gate. The man remon strated, and in the heat of his resentment be applied the term " greenhorn" to the soldier, adding, sarcastically, that be would give him sixpence at Christmas for his attention to his duty. The soldier lost his temper, and pursued the defendant, calling on two or three of his comrades to assist. The man madi considerable resistance. lie was, however, secured, but'not until the coat was nearly torn from his hack, and the complainant, in return, re ceived a severe kick in the groin. Sir It Burnt said he was at a loss what to do. On the prac- tice of stopping persons going through the Park. who carried packages or basket®, he should offer no observation, as it was a military regulation, and therefore out of.his jurisdiction. The de fendant was guilty of assaulting the soldier, who must be protected, and therefore he should require him to find bail, unless the com manding officer should think tit to accept of an apology. The latter suggestion was adopted, and the man was set at liberty. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. —Yesterday a stout portly good-looking individual, named James Mankind, about 50 years of age, dressed in a blue coat, black silk waistcoat and blue trou sers, and altogether having the appearance of a person belonging to the most respectable class of tradesmen, who has been in cus tody for several days, was brought before Mr. CONA . NT, the Sitting Magietrate, for final examination, charged with the following audacious highway robbery. Mrs: Eleanor Ginnavan, a widow lady, in deep mourning, re siding at No. 51, Oxford-street, being sworn; stated, that on Tuesday, the 19th instant, she was returning about three o'clock in the afternoon from her son's house, and when she arrived near the Green Mau and Still coach-office; in the lame street, shefound a great Crowd Collected there. The prisoner idea in front of her, and pressed so severely against her, that she called out to him ae• veral times, but he took no notice of her supplications, and still continued to press her more closely, putting one band round her person, while with the other he laid hold on the tippet of her dress, round her neck, and pulled it in different, directions. At this moment a gentleman CMOC towards her, and pointing to the prisoner, said to her, " Beware of that oem." The prisoner now suddenly quitted her and left the crowd ; and immediately after, on feeling in her left hand side pocket, she found that her gold watch, gold chain, four seals, two rings, and two keys, were gone, and out of her right aids pocket was hanging her greets silk purse and a bunch of keys. Observing the direction in which the prisoner went, she, with her servant, and another female, who assisted her out of the crowd, pursued him, and soon after saw him standing in the Regent's-circus, when she went up to hint, and entreated him to give her back the watch. The prisoner ex pressed hie' astonishment at her addressing bins thus, said that he knew nothing about her watch, and asked her what she meant by accusing a respectable tradesman. A person in the crowd, who happened to know Mrs. Ginnavan, hearing what had occurred, had by this time procured a constable, and the prisoner wee given into his custody, and brought to this office. Mr. It. Woodman, of 42, Rathbone-place, corroborated the above statement.—The prisoner was fully committed. UNION-HALL—Yesterday a respectable-looking man, n troll Thomas Maud, was brought up to this office in custody, ae the instance of the parish ottimrstf Lambeth, for refusing to pay for the maintenance of his illegitimate child. Mr. Pace, one of 'the overseers, presented a bill of 7/. 4s. 9d. to the defendant, saying that it was on account of the expences in curred by the parish for the support of his illegitimate child. The defendant, on perusing the account, said that he had no more:right to pay for the maintenance of the child in question than any body else. The mother of it was a strumpet. Mr. Crisp, who attended on behalf of the defendant, proposed to put a few questions to the mother of the child. The ManseTaaTe wee rather averse to this at first ; he, how ever, permitted Mr. Crisp to put the following question' to• Mary Crook, 'with this advice to the woman, that she was not bound to answer any questions that would criminate herself. Mr. Crisp.—Do you remember living in the service of Mr. Beecher; at Harefield ?—Yes, perfectly well. Mr. Crisp.—And were yon not very intimate' with a men they called Big Joe ?-1 knew such a person ; but don't recollect hav ing been on very intimate terms with him. Mr. Crisp—Will you swear that you have never had a child by the said "Big Joe?" Mary Crook appeared to•be rather confused here, she, however, said that she never had a child by Big Joe. Mr. Crisp—Then we shill leave Big Joe where he is; and now I shift ask you whether you did not live under the protectim of a butcher at Rickmansworth ? Mary Crook—Never. Mr. Crisp---. What ! do you deny that Cannon, the butcher, ran away from his wife and family to cohabit with you ? Mary Crook--4 have already sworn that Maed is the father of the child I now hold in my arms ; and where is the use of talking about my former acquaintance with old Joe, or the butcher of Rickmansworth ; my intimacy with them was long before I bad this pretty little bantling. Mr. Crisp said, that he could bring forward evidenCe to prove that the woman was of ahandoned character, and selected this man because he was married, and in better circumstances than her other paramours. wax bound l y to paids The Magistrate o b serve d, t h a t th e defendant had his remedy a t the sessions, a n d demand,the support and intimated o f n hi his chi l d. at ; The defendanthi s intention of app ea li ng to ' the sess i o n s . ythiber Constance, —, from Sincapore, on the 16th ditto ; the 6re cian, Smith, from Marseilles, on the I,7th ditto; the Lady M'Naughten, Faith, from Bengal ; on the 19th ditto ; and the, Prince Regent, Lamb, for New South Wales.

We received yesterday the following communication from Malta : • • , MALTA, Sari. 6.—We are all here in anxious expectation cf see ing great events take place in a short period. Last night one of Lord Cochrane's steam-boats passed, but did not touch; we do not know her destination, but it is supposed, as she came in a north-east di reetion,that she was last from Messina, and in search of hie Lordship. The Government here is quite determined to show him no quar ters, in the event of his putting into Malta in a hostile manner; thereforOf his Lordship expects to get supplies for his squadron through this channel, he will be disappointed. The three Turkish ofticera, of whom I have already spoken, sail from this place to-morrow, the Marseilles, highly delighted With their hospitable reception. The Marquis of Ilaatings introduces them to Lord Bathurst and the Duke of Wellington ; and this extreme. politeness may be of service, as they are persons of con siderable distinction. One of them speaks a little Italian, but the other two know nothing but their own language. The Ganns is still in harbour, and I believe, will give convoy to Alexandria. The Raleigh came in on Saturday from England, after a passage of ' forty days; she also, it is said, is bound for Alexandria, and Colonel Davison, Private Secretary to the Mar. quis, proceeds in her to that place, and froth thence he goes up the Nile to Cairo. It is said his mission is political, as he is to be the hearer of despatches to the Paclia. The American squadron passed here last week from Smyrna to Gibraltar, but did not touch; they are gone there to refit and take in provisions. The packet from England is not yet arrived, though there are daily arrivals from the west. The Romney store-ship sails in a flay, or two for Corfu and Zante l and afterwards returns to England. • The Island is very dull at this moment, owing to the great de pression of trade, and, although we have free pratique with the Continent, it avails little. The system of Corn Laws here, which has been carried on under a Committee of three or four persons, and has given general dissatisfaction, is, we understand, about to be revised, And no two or More persons will have the power of inundating the market with bad grain, and, at the same time, rais ing the price of bread. We have had no arrivals lately from Smyrna or Alexandria, lint we are assured that the piracies are completely put down. We are fearful of the plague at Malta, as it is supposed to exist at this moment in some of the lonian Isles ; but the Board of Health, to viate . all suspicions , essels coming from that is hoped, insure a (vci o C)tbr etary to Government , i,~ eeunnlzli quarter, S imposed eto l o d dw r fri tr E i leoal i hFeni s 'ec y e o" x i i h p luire e e ls'ee ' c l C te a wwil t d t iii . e efti latter end still,e Set n h : land f The troops of the garrison are in good health, and no infectious diseases of any kind are supposed to exist on the Island.

The Coronation of the Emperor took place yesterday. The ceremony, which was performed in the Church of the Assumption in the Kremlin, was conducted with the greatest regularity, and many parts of it were extremely impressive. The Grsnd Duke Constantine (who had arrived on the Saturday preceding) acted throughout as first assistant to the Emperor. On a raised plat form, in the centre of the church, were three thrones, one of which was placed at some distance from the other two ' and was occupied by the Empress Moth er , w h o , arrived first. The Emperor and Empress cams, about eight o'clock in the morning, in a; pros.' ion composed of the Generals of the Army, the representatives of the nobility from the different governments, and the merchants of Moscow.
